Recent files show files have been accessed today within minutes of this message. I have not accessed these files in most cases in months and in some cases years. I have tried Microsoft support but they haven't been able to help. Example: I have a word document called AC placement. I have not opened that document in more than a month. In the Recent area it shows that I accessed that document at 3:20 PM today, minutes before this post. I have excel document callled Sprinklers which I have not opened in 6 months. It lists ti as opened on 10/19/2023 at 12:10 PM. I am trying to understand if there is a probelm with oneDrive or is someone else accessing my documents through oneDrive.40KViews0likes17CommentsOneDrive stuck on "signing in"
Hi, I'm trying to use Onedrive and Onenote, but it seems to be really terrible 50% of the time. Sometimes when I log on my pc, it says I have to log in, and in doing so, is stuck on a "signing in" loop, until it says some error code about me not having an internet connection. Here's what I've tried: 1. Close and open Onedrive 2. Removing auth from the pc and adding it again 3. Reinstalling Onedrive 4. Change Wi-Fi 5. Do a /reset in Windows run AND cmd 6. Update drivers 7. Install the newest Onedrive from the website 8. Try the app-version found in Windows Store What am I supposed to do? I don't want to restart my pc every time it doesn't work, that's a terrible fix.265KViews3likes46CommentsOneDrive Q regarding file access from 2 systems
Scenario: Within the root of one drive I have a directory named RESOURCE_FILES. Within that I have a txt file named MyFile.txt . SCENARIO1: I am at my laptop (named MyLP01) connected to one drive and using a text editor app (note NotePad) I open MyFile.txt that is in OneDrive. If I move to my workstation (MyPC01) and open MyFile.txt using a text editor (not NotePad) I can have teh file open on both systems. If a change is made to MyFile.txt on either PC, the other will get a notice that the file has changed and tge text editor app asks me if I want to reload the updated file. This is expected behavior. SCENARIO2: I am at my laptop (named MyLP01) connected to one drive and using a text editor app (note NotePad) I open MyFile.txt that is in OneDrive. Without closing the file or altering it, I activate teh VPN to my office and then I launch RDP (Remote Desktop) and connect my pc at work (MyWORKPC01). I then launch a text editor app (not NotePad) and open MyFile.txt located in OneDrive. When I try to open teh file after about 15-20 seconds I get an error msg that there is a problem accessing teh file. Why in scenario 1 can I have 1 file in OneDrive open from 2 different systems but I can't in scenario#2? Thanks5Views0likes0CommentsSlow OneDrive uploadspeed!
For a few years i used an university MS-account with 2TB OneDrive storage. Now these cooperation runs out and i made my own MS account with those 1TB OneDrive storage. I have like ~500GB of data in that old OneDrive and right now try to copy everything to my new personal one... But the uploadspeed is horrible! Referring to speedtests I have like 50Mbit/s (Ethernet so quite stable) so ~ like 6.25MB/s upload. The maximum onedrive reaches is like 1.5MB/s.... and in average i get like 750kB/s... My PC is already running for 2 days... Do you have any idea to solve this problem or is this just something i have to accept? Is it possible that institutions like universities have better uploadspeeds, or are just prioritized and so on? Thanks in advance!

Hi, on one computer in my household, OneDrive causes extreme internet connection slowness. The computer is running Windows 10, everything up to date. OneDrive says in the system tray that the sync is up to date and nothing is currently syncing. It is not causing any visible traffic in Task Manager. With OneDrive running and active, Speedtest.net reports a download speed of less than 5 Mbps, and surfing the internet becomes near impossible. When I pause OneDrive sync, Speedtest.net reports a download speed of over 100 Mbps. Turn OneDrive sync on again and the connection speed goes back to a crawl. It's repeatable and consistent. OneDrive sync is up to date, so it's not actually moving any data when the connection speed is slow. It appears to slow down the Mbps throughput for the whole internet connection for some reason. Any ideas what to do about that, other than constantly pausing OneDrive sync, so the internet is usable again? This is OneDrive Personal, as part of a M365 Family subscription.55Views0likes1CommentStop OneDrive backing up photos
Hi, I have both a private and a business MS OneDrive account. I use a work PC and an Android phone (Samsung). My problem concern my private account. No matter what I do, OneDrive insists on backing up my private photos. I've tried MS online guides, but turning off the "backup photos and videos" doesn't work and my storage is constantly over the limit! Please help!17Views0likes0CommentsUnlink OneDrive folder in Windows 10
Hello I have problem with OneDrive. User is not signed in OneDrive but the folder 'C:\Users\%username%\OneDrive - My Org' exist and you can browse all file names and open files which are cached locally. I have found out that you can clear saved user credentials by deleteing this json file (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/clear-onedrive-cached-credentials-5b7d944e-89ce-4fbd-812c-a1d93645cfd1) but this does not help because the user is not logged in OneDrive. del /q /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\PreSignInSettingsConfig.json" In this document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sync/onedrive-local-folder-name-not-updated it's guided to unlink the user account from OneDrive Settings but this cannot be done because user is not logged in OneDrive. I have also deleted this reg key as suggested in the document but this this did not help. reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive" /f 2>nul Only solution so far have been backing up all files, then removing the whole user profile but this is not practical. I would like to unlink the OneDrive by using PowerShell or a batch file.56Views0likes1CommentOneDrive taking a long time to find and sync changes
Hi, Our company's OneDrive seem to take way too long to sync files back and forth to our Sharepoint Document Library. E.g. when creating a new file or folder it just sits at "Looking for changes" for about 30-60 seconds or more before anything happens. The upload/download speeds seems ok though, it's just very slow to identify changes made to the document library. The full library consists of about 40.000 files at a size of 40 GB. However, we have the same problem for the personal OneDrive folders as well, which often contains close to nothing. The default setting for all our employees is to access files through the cloud (not enabling a local sync of the entire library). Except for automatically cached docs and perhaps a very few selected folders. The slow sync is in turn often creating worse sync issues when opening and starting to edit, before the first copy has been created in the cloud. Is this just what I should expect from Microsoft, or does anyone know how to improve this?Solved46KViews1like17CommentsTagging Photos Across Logins
I have photos in shared folders that I'm having problems tagging (or seeing tags) across different OneDrive accounts using the desktop app. I can add & see tags in some, but not others and vice versa. Some photos won't allow me to add tags at all. I have checked to make sure the files accept tags, tried multiple computers loggged into the same OneDrive account as well as those I've shared the file with and can't seem to find how/when I'm given the "permission" to add tags or not. Also odd that sometimes the tags show up across devices/accounts while others don't. Please help!9Views0likes0Comments
